true, even Singapore was interesting in the 50's

^Corruption, prostitution, drugs, Tong gangs and cheap food. Lovely place. Too bad they "civilized" the place.

**DrAndy** · 06-10-2009, 06:20 PM

Agreed, it is like a Disneyland now

You can walk the streets at night and nobody will mug you, how much fun is that?

Not wishing to split hairs or anything, but wouldn't the English King (Harold) have just stood there when you shouted "canard", and reached for his Collins pocket edition French/English dictionary in order to translate what you had just said?

And even if he found the correct page in time, would he have been able to read the small typeface with just one eye?

**DrAndy** · 06-10-2009, 06:41 PM

Harold did not speak English

Not at all . . . the nobility in England spoke French . . . the plebs spoke Mancunian or Liverpudlian or that God-awful Newcastle verbal vomit.

Ahem . . . do like the Cornish accent, though

Possibly. If i shouted "cunard" however, he would have looked for large ocean going vessels, and upon seeing none (as they weren't yet invented) would probably have confined me to the loony bin.

So you're a monk then? A monk shagging sheep or a sheep-shagging monk . . . it all makes sense now

I don't think the nobility spoke French until after the Norman conquest, at which point poor Harold was dead

but he didn't speak English, and he was not the clergy, who wrote in Anglo-Saxon
whatever that was!
a mix of Angle and Sax

You like the Cornish accent?...like "Alright My Cock" these people would have got starring roles in "The Hills have Eyes" or "The St. Ives Chainsaw Massacre" someone should have cut Cornwall or Kernow (as they like to be known) right across the river Plym and set it adrift in the Atlantic... (My ex wife was Cornish... they are retarded) Give them 100% independance as they request, and see how they fare...an economy of Cornish Pasties, Clotted Cream and clotted Brains.

They will end up like the stupid fuckers from North Wales, burning cottages they no longer can afford!

Ooo Moi Lurve, youse be wantin to pay how much for Moi mouldy little shack Boi the sea...a million pounds... now, let me troi to work wot a million is My cock, be sure, it sounds loike a big number, we never got taught that koinda in in skool, (cos loike we never went, we was too busy fuckin inbreds and retards) we only learned how to breed on the dole but we still loikes a chance at independance.

Hey! Kernow for the Kernish!

That's wot opi ses!

And fuck off taking the piss about Newcastle accents, I have always spoke proper England ever Since I was a Children!

Forgive Andy. He does this instinctively - considering to assume he might be speaking for everyone. 'We' this, 'we' that.......automatic for the people.

**DrAndy** · 06-10-2009, 08:46 PM

Thanks for that RS But I won't forgive him as he loves himself soooooo much it's sickening.

At the end of the day, I guess the final command is "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!"
